Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 19 Flowers Grow in the Heart
Li Mazi told the story awkwardly. It was estimated that at his age, he had rarely talked about his innermost thoughts with others, and he seemed to be too embarrassed to talk about it.

According to Li Mazi, the original owner of Miaoji Liquor Store was named Yi, and his master was named Miaoji, so it was named Miaoji.

Later, he was framed by the Liu family, who took away his shop and the wine-making recipe, and ended up with his family destroyed.

The owner, Yi Pan, was depressed and died soon after, leaving behind a pile of medical debts and an orphan and a widow.

Li Mazi showed up at this time. He had bought wine at Miaoji before and had met the lady boss there a few times. But he knew what he was like at the time, and although he had thought about it, he had given up. Now that they met again, Li Mazi was tempted.

In Li Mazi's words: I can't walk when I see her.

In recent years, with the help of Li Mazi, the orphan and his widow have finally found a stable footing in Sandao City. They help with some needlework and barely have enough to eat and wear.

Now that Li Mazi had the idea of ​​getting married, he thought that he couldn't just throw up his hands and marry someone when he was penniless, right? Even though the widow had already accepted him as a scumbag, Li Mazi, he still felt embarrassed and wanted to find a stable livelihood.

Even before, he went to gamble not for abuse, but to take advantage of Uncle Yu's relationship and find something to do.

Last time I told Yang Qian that I lost ten taels, but in fact I was just kidding. I actually lost less than two taels.

"Master Yang, you also know that the people who hang around on the streets are cunning and not very honest. They prefer to look at other people's favors. Although Uncle Yu agreed on the surface, he is not willing to spend money easily when it comes to making a living.

This opportunity to take over the wine shop is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Linghong used to be the proprietress of Miaoji and knows all the ins and outs of it. As long as she takes over the wine shop, she can open it immediately and the business will not be affected at all.

Please be kind and help me. From now on, if I have any problems, I, Li Mazi, will definitely obey Master Yang's orders, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"How much money do you have saved?"

"Hey, it's not much, only about forty or fifty silver coins. Counting the reward you just gave me, it should be more than sixty."

"You want to buy someone else's profitable shop with this little money? You're dreaming!"

"Master Yang, this is what I think. You haven't bought any property yet. Since you've already bought a house and are going to settle down, wouldn't it be great if you could buy another property? I'll let Linghong be your shopkeeper, and she'll invest some money as a share. Isn't that enough?"

Yang Qian's hand that was picking up the food paused for a moment, and he was so angry that he laughed at Li Mazi's plan.

But after laughing, the Miaoji Wine Shop that Li Mazi mentioned was indeed a good business. He had heard of it during the past six months in Sandao City and had even drunk their wine. Overall, it was really good, at least there was no loss.

It's not that Yang Qian has no interest in making money, but he just couldn't spare the time before. He was investigating one case after another, and he was alone in Sandao City. How could he have the ability to make a side job?

Having just experienced the joy of spending money, Yang Qian was very interested in making money. He was also interested in Li Mazi's proposal.

Even if we take a step back and say that Li Mazi is unreliable, the shop is a solid high-quality asset. Yang Qian will definitely make a profit by selling it after the rumors about the Liu family have died down.

"How much is Uncle Yu asking?"

Li Mazi was immediately overjoyed when he heard Yang Qian take over, and said quickly: "Uncle Yu asked for ten gold coins, which is not much higher than the price Uncle Yu took over. I think if we bargain a little more, we can get a little less, but there is not much room for improvement."

Li Mazi had made preparations, and he had a clear idea of ​​the extra money. "Then you go and negotiate. If the negotiation is successful, I will take over the shop, and then I can let your lover come to be the manager. But if she wants to become a shareholder, you have to let her show her ability. If I think she is qualified, I will give her a share.

Remember, it's your share, not yours. Do you understand me?"

"Thank you, Master Yang, for your kindness!" How could Li Mazi not understand? He knew that Yang Qian was protecting him. Although he didn't think it was necessary, it wasn't a bad thing.

After the meal, Li Mazi left in a hurry, probably to go back to tell the widow the good news. I don't know whether Li Mazi will get married or lose everything in the end. But it doesn't matter to Yang Qian. What he wants is a profitable shop. He can run it for a long time or make a quick buck.

This matter itself just happened by chance.

The next morning, Yang Qian went to the government office to look for someone. It was the accountant of the Shenshisi who was in charge of doing the accounting for the Liu family when the Liu family was searched. It was natural that the person who could handle such a lucrative job would not be an ordinary accountant.

After some pleasantries, a jade paperweight was placed on the other person's desk. This thing was a "little gadget" that Yang Qian had taken from Liu Chengkun's study before, and now it was put to good use.

"Brother Zhang, there are only two things, please help me!"

"You! Why are you being so polite? Okay, I'll do these two things for you. But I have to say this first. If you make any mistakes, don't blame me for not taking responsibility."

"Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? No matter what, I owe you a favor. How can I blame you for something that went wrong? I, Yang Qian, am not that kind of person."

"Haha, okay, I'll believe you."

In fact, it was just a matter of adding two items to the account, all of which were leftovers from the Liu family. Even if they were investigated, it was unlikely that no one would take it seriously. This favor was just a matter of going with the flow, and I could also get a piece of green jade paperweight of such good quality, so why not do it?

When Yang Qian came out of the government office with a smile on his face, he had a bag in his hands and slung over his back.

The matters of Miao's Liquor Shop and Wang Xiang were settled in one trip.

Once the land deeds and house deeds are transferred to Miao Ji, the government office will see Yang Qian's name and directly cross him out from the list of "suspected criminal assets".

The fire fox skin that Wang Xiang's father was killed with was also cleared out and taken away directly as "lost property in pending cases" as described by Yang Qian.

Although the work was done, the things seemed a little heavy.

When Wang Xiang's family saw the fiery fox skin, they all burst into tears. They all guessed that their husband and father were in danger, but when they really faced this reality, they always found it difficult to accept.

"I suggest you keep this fur for now. Your father has taken good care of it. If you keep up the good work, the fur will become more valuable over time. You can keep it for emergencies." Yang Qian stuffed the fire fox fur into Wang Xiang's hand.

Seeing that Wang Xiang was still trying to refuse, Yang Qian continued, "The Wind-Chasing Steps you gave me last time is far more valuable than this piece of leather, and I don't need it. You can take it, because you still need to support the family in the future, and you will need it anyway."

As the Wang family expressed their gratitude, Yang Qian patted Wang Xiang on the shoulder before leaving and said, "Don't fall behind in martial arts. If you succeed in the future, come to Sandao City to find me."

Wang Xiang didn't say anything, but just looked at Yang Qian and nodded heavily.
